CASE STUDY

(Attempt all questions. Every question carries 10 marks) Read the case “Southeast Asia Offshore Oil Drilling Problem” and answer the following questions.

Southeast Asia Offshore Oil Drilling Problem This case study is part of a series designed to help students and younger engineers develop business problem-solving skills through real engineering scenarios. Each case study will provide practical applications of specific, real-life examples to develop the strategy skills that leading companies use to succeed in the marketplace. Scenario Our client, Petro-Oil, is a mid-sized oil and gas exploration and production company with major areas of exploration located in South America, Gulf of Mexico, Western Africa, China, Eastern Europe, and several other countries. The Board of Petro-Oil has just set an ambitious goal to be completed in the next five years: To be the largest oil and gas producer in Asia by the end of 2017. A quick market research inquiry shows three major competitor companies (Table 1) that are larger than our client. To support their new aspirations, our client just purchased Ceylon-II, a large deep-water oilfield offshore in the South China Sea. Table 1: Benchmark Results (million barrels of oil equivalent):

	Proven Reserves	Annual Production
Competitor A: PetroChina	15,000	1,500
Competitor B: Petronas	8,000	800
Competitor C: Pertamina	7,500	750
Client: Current Producing Assets	6,000	450
Client: Ceylon-II	6,000	0

 

 

Petro-Oil’s management team has hired your company to do a diagnostic of the company’s current portfolio, operations, and organization to help them understand what they need to do to achieve this goal. Key points and assumptions - Production is generally correlated with reserves - Assume the reserves of each of the assets are exactly at the same rate of depletion - Assume that all competitors continue to seek additional reserves in the Pacific region - The current existing                 

 

production rates in the area are significantly higher than the client’s production rate Analysis  The current extraction rate of Competitors A, B, and C are much higher than our client and hold, at a minimum, 10% extraction rate. The client’s current production rate needs to increase and the new asset has to meet the current standard of 10% extraction rate. Further exploration in the area to gain new assets for additional production is key for growth and to increase the extraction rate. Even with these two current assets, the client’s current reserves are still less than the region’s the largest producer. Questions to develop the proper strategy

Question No: 6

The trap is a fundamental part of the seal that prevents hydrocarbons from further upward migration. There are two types of traps whose classifications are based on the preferential mechanism of leaking: the hydraulic trap and the membrane trap. The statement given above is wrong and needs some rectification. Choose the rectified statement from the choices given.

 

1. A trap is formed when the buoyancy forces driving the upward migration of hydrocarbons through a permeable rock cannot overcome the capillary forces of a sealing medium. There are two types of traps whose classifications are based on the preferential mechanism of leaking: the hydraulic seal and the membrane seal.
2. The seal is a fundamental part of the trap that prevents hydrocarbons from further upward migration. A capillary seal is formed when the capillary pressure across the pore throats is greater than or equal to the buoyancy pressure of the migrating hydrocarbons. They do not allow fluids to migrate across them until their integrity is disrupted, causing them to leak. There are two types of capillary seal whose classifications are based on the preferential mechanism of leaking: the hydraulic seal and the membrane seal.
3. A seal is formed when the buoyancy forces driving the upward migration of hydrocarbons through a permeable rock cannot overcome the capillary forces of a sealing medium.
